Although this best-selling book by Napolean Hill i.e. THE LAWS OF SUCCESS is a worldwide renowned book as-of-date, still there are a few loopholes and mistakes in this book. The author of this management book no doubt wrote this book , taking valuable inputs from even a more renowned & experienced author i.e. DALE CARNEGIE , but inspite of that still , there are a few wrong things mentioned in this useful book . For example:- the author of this book states that LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES ARE THE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS TO SELL ON THIS PLANET , but the fact is the most difficult thing to sell on this planet is a place in heaven in the future to an atheist , when the latter is not only alive but also hail & hearty !!!! Also, Hill preaches wrong things pertaining to the 3rd law of success i.e. 'Get in the habit of saving' and the 13th law of success i.e. "Learn from your mistakes". Regarding the above mentioned 3rd law of success , Hill doesn't mention this important fact that , " OUR money in the hands of others is a NPA ( non-productive asset ) which is never of any use to us when we actually need it. " So always we should learn the habit of saying maximum no's to people who approach us for any monetary favour from us. The more NO's we say to people who come to us expecting any financial favour from us , the more happier we are actually in life. Also, the author forgot to state that when it comes to charity , then charity begins at home. If we have to indeed give donations in life , we should give 1st class preferential treatment to those have nots people who work for us and/or who are our daily acquaintances. After that only , if any money remains for donating, then only we should donate money to outside, unknown social service organisations, charitable institutions, etc. To do one's own duties & responsibilities, preferentially , in the 1st place even if we don't perform them effectively & efficiently is much better than taking others's responsibilities and performing them most productively, after neglecting one's own duties is a teaching that should have advocated by Mr. Hill, but sadly he didn't do so ! Also with regard to rule 13 i.e. Learn from your mistakes, actually in today's very competitive modern age of the 4th industrial revolution, it's equally important to learn from others's mistakes and experiences as well. The reason why in schools all over the world , history is being taught as a Seperate subject is because it gives the school students a chance to learn from the mistakes & experiences of their predecessors, ancestors, forefathers and elders . Those people who learn from others mistakes see to it that they don't commit those same mistakes & reach the highest levels of success at a very young age .

Although this movie was released in mid-April 1992 , when I was still a permanent resident of UAE then , and this Mr Bond movie was available a week after its worldwide release in all the video parlours in UAE then , in its VHS cassette format & that too in the master print edition, still I didn't bother to rent out the VHS cassette of this movie and see it in my residential building i.e. COLONEL SALEM AL-AHMED AL SUBAIDAN apartments, behind AL-SANAA household supermarket & departmental stores, AL-KARAMA , DUBAI in UAE then . However now more than 27 years later , when this movie in its original master print edition is available freely on YouTube to the common public, I decided to get a bit nostalgic AND go back in time to enjoy this yesteryears movie starring evergreen hero AKSHAY KUMAR and a bunch of yesteryears lost ( but still alive ) heroines of BOLLYWOOD. Although this movie was no doubt an entertaining film, but by titling this film as MR. BOND , unneccesarily RAJ SIPPY invited unasked for & unfair comparisons with the long running, evergreen, perennial,legendary HOLLYWOOD franchise name sake of the same name. In this movie , Akshay is paired opposite 5 heroines- SHEEBA AKAASHDEEP, POONAM DASGUPTA, DOILY MINHAS , SAATHI GANGULY & Ruchika Pandey. Regarding the 1st 4-heroines whose names I have mentioned in bold capital letters above , all of them had substantial meaty roles in the movie AND Akshay got a chance to do a couple of very hot and sexy bedroom as well as bathroom scenes with each of the 4 heroines mentioned above. Regarding the 5th heroine RUCHIKA PANDEY , she had just an extended special appearance in the movie and she appears in the movie in the 2nd half after the interval . Pankaj Dheer shines as the main antagonist of this movie in a unique-rare double role. Ruchika Pandey dies in this movie towards the climax of this film when she prevents AKSHAY KUMAR from being shot dead by the younger Pankaj Dheer . The songs and music of this MR.BOND movie r above average as well as are watchable and listenable at least once. The opening scene of this Mr BOND movie is a plagiarised carbon-copy of an yesteryears JAMES BOND Hollywood movie starring Sean Connery. AKSHAY KUMAR does a very good job in this movie as the solo-hero as he excels not only in the acting department but also in the action stunts department as well as the dancing department. However in conclusion, I would still state that this Mr Bond movie even though was thoroughly enjoyed by me as a piece of nostalgia,but still I wouldn't recommend this movie to other netizens or YOUTUBE viewers as it is not only a poor imitation of the legendary, HOLLYWOOD franchise JAMES BOND series of movies but also, it's one of the less popular movies in the entire long carrer of the living BOLLYWOOD legend, Akshay Kumar . Just think & imagine, this Mr.Bond movie is already a more than 27 years old film.

Mr. Bond

This world famous, universally recognised & globally renowned book , THE 7 key habits of highly effective people, is no doubt more than 50 years old, It was written by Late Mr. Stephen R.Covey more than 50 years back , but its teachings, applications & practicability is very much valid even till today. Although more than 7 years have passed since Mr. Stephen Covey passed away , still that doesn't make this book and Stephen Sir's teachings outdated !

This POLICE FORCE- an inside story movie released in the 1st half of the year 2004 was actually the last BOLLYWOOD movie where the golden, very popular , romantic pair of the 90's AKSHAY & RAVEENA have acted together ,opposite each other , as the main hero and heroine of this film . Just like how ZORDAAR film released in late October 1996 was the last movie where Govinda & Neelam Kothari- the most popular, romantic, golden pair of the entire 80's were paired opposite each other for the last time , similarly till date this POLICE FORCE movie has been the last movie of AKSHAY & Raveena together . Prior to this , AKKI & RAVS had acted opposite each other in 5 movies- MOHRA, KHILADIYON KA KHILADI, BAROOD, DAAVA & KEEMAT ! Out of these 6 films that Akshay & Raveena did together only MOHRA (1994) and KHILADIYON KA KHILADI (1996) did very well at the Bollywood box-office . The remaining 4 movies were either average grossers or major flops. Regarding the movie in question i.e. Police force -an inside story , this movie was just an average grosser at the box office . The original name of this Police force movie was actually VIDROH . But later after being shelved and being revived again after a long time , the title of this movie was changed to POLICE FORCE. This movie is actually a nice movie worth seeing once .

This movie , in question, AATISH-feel the fire was released way back on June 17th , 1994 . I had watched this 3 hour film on a Sunday , June 19th, 1994 along with a big gang of my next building neighbours . This film made more news for 2 reasons -: (1) POOJA Bhatt 's sudden pulling out of the project after completing 80% of her shooting (POOJA BHATT WAS ACTUALLY THE ORIGINAL NISHA IN THIS MOVIE ) and her subsequent replacement by LOLO Karishma Kapoor . & (2) The Karisma - Raveena on sets cat-fighting , which was not only the 1st of its kind, but which went on to become the hot talk topic of Tinseltown then . This film, Aatish, had extraordinary cinematography and awesome choreography as well as beautiful visuals and pretty locations . Aditya Panscholi's performance in this movie stands out as Langdaa Nawaab . Sanjay DUTT, Raveena Tandon and Karishma Kapoor also play their parts very well . Music wise, Nadeem Shravan have done a great job as music directors of this film . Songs like " Yaa dilruba " , "DIL DIL DIL ", " KHATE HAIN HUM KASAM " & " Aa Aa Aa mere dilruba " are not only outstanding songs but also evergreen , perennial and legendary song numbers. But the best and most underrated song of this music album , ' HASRATEIN HAI' does not find a place in the edited 3 hour cut of this movie . This film, Aatish , is actually a cocktail of a bunch of earlier, succesful Hollywood movies as well as a few far-eastern Korean movies.

This movie Gumnaam: The Mystery(2008) was released in the 2nd half of 2008. This movie had the potential to be a classic one as not only was this movie's story path-breaking and innovative but the script & story had the potential for development of many interesting sub-plots in it . However , NEERAJ Pathak gives in to the box-office current demands then of throwing in a few unnecessary and interest-diverting romantic scenes and songs . The director should have listened to his heart & concentrating more on the quality of the film should have done away with the unnecessary formula based- item songs and dance items . Now coming to the music jukebox part of this film, MOHABBAT SE ZYAADA is the most popular song amongst all the songs of this movie . Nadeem Shravan have done a good job as the music-directors of this movie. Of the acting star cast , Mahima Chaudhry steals the show in her double role of supermodel-cum-aspiring actress [RIYA] and that of billionaire heiress of an industrialist [SIMONE ]. Dino Morea , GOBIND Namdeo , Rakhi Sawant (as Riya's best friend ) , the (late) veteran actor Razzak Khan and supporting actress-cum-vamp SUMAN RANGANATHAN all shine in their respective parts . SUMAN RANGANATHAN & MAHIMA CHAUDHRY excel in the dance sequence scenes AND Dino Morea shines in the body-building gym work out and girl-seducing scenes . This film would have at least done above-average business then , when it was released around 10 years back..... Only if the makers of this film had given a good amount of advertising & publicity for this movie then . Mahima Chaudhry and SUMAN RANGANATHAN look much younger & prettier in this movie than what they look currently .

This movie "LOC KARGIL -before we forget" is a 2004 big-budget Bollywood release produced by Mr.Bharat Shah & directed by Shri Jyoti Prakash Dutta. It's a real-life , documentary account of the 1999 Kargil war fought between India and Pakistan. This movie LOC is not just an educative, informative and entertaining movie but it's also an experience of going back in time and relieving the iconic moments of the 1999 KARGIL war in the midst of the Indian army soldiers. This movie was shot on the very same 20,000 feet high Kargil peaks where the armies of India and Pakistan fought at the world's highest battlefields- Kargil, Ladakh AND Siachen Glacier.
